Building a sustainable and circular future together
Our approach aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, promoting water reuse and sustainable practices. Glanua is also an active influencer in the water industry, participating in platforms like the All-Party Parliamentary Water Group to demonstrate leadership. Our transition support from municipal systems to bespoke industrial solutions reflects a commitment to doing the right thing, transparently and responsibly, for our clients and the environment.
We are successfully managing, operating and maintaining numerous operational sites, equipment and processes for our clients, where we study, design, deliver and implement solutions tailored to their specific production needs and management requirements. Our expertise, technologies and commitment to results and performance, guarantee a long-term partnership that adds value to their activities. Aqua Operations do not just operate and maintain sites, this is what we have to do day in, day out.
It is about how we provide solutions and optimise our clients processes, whether it be providing compliance on problematic sites through process improvement plans, reducing operating costs or minimising capex. Our experience and expertise allow us to determine the correct site specific solutions without any pressure to sell equipment, because we don’t make any. This is where we have developed long term trust, contracts and partnerships based on selecting and demonstrating the right solution for our client every time, something every Aqua Operations employee is proud of. Aqua Operations are striving to grow within the UK water industry where we can provide the same level of expertise to water companies as we have proven within the private industrial sector.
